Abstract	What is it about small groups that make them so powerful? The answer is straightforward: Groups tend to solve problems better than even the brightest individuals because "many hands make light work," and "two heads are better than one." This is especially true when the groups are diverse and individuals act somewhat independently. In this month's column, the author espouses the wisdom of group instruction and how it lends itself nicely to the case study method. (As Provided).
